Thanks, but I'm not getting a pin, just an area, and when I try to click the pic it says server error. 
Is one of those 2 buildings in the pic the shop?

The same on my desktop , no pin. But if you press the search icon on the top left where the coordinates are, the pin will then show up. The granite store is about opposite to that building in the photo (NW of traffic lights).

Difficult to tell but I think its a Banded Kukri

Details were announced at the recent meeting with the new US Consul. It looks much larger, and will be between the Superhighway and the middle ring, near Payap. The present consulate will probably be retained as the residence of the consul, but there is still some doubt of this.

I hope they don't flog it off, as most other countries have done. It would then probably be ripped down and turned into a shopping mall!

Try this in places that you think they may have congregated. If they can't get on the dogs they will soon disappear and they seem to hate this powder so it keeps them out of the places they might hide. You can just clean up the powder after a few weeks.

Goat on top of hay truck (must save money on gas).

Well that doesn't work out , because if you are towing the goat too, then the added weight uses more gas! Next time tell the goat to walk !

I was about to post "what an idiot" the Italian is - until I read and considered your post. I would have to agree. It would be very easy to set anyone up. Often we are quick to judge when we should consider all angles first.

I don't see how they could charge him for possession as it seems to have never reached him. Proof of purchase? No mention made of credit card payments etc. There was a small amount of something found at his home but personally I would have an open mind on that issue.

The majority of posters seem to have found him guilty because of his appearance, so god forbid that any of us looks like we might be that way inclined. The whole concept is something that does seem a little troubling especially for those with a few enemies.

They are seriously relying on pastry puff pies to rescue them. Geez!! Actually Krispy Kreme would be a better bet, but I don't think they own that one.

Epicenter about 12km from my house in Doi Saket.  Felt, and sounded, more like a bomb going off and rattled the whole house. I went outside to see what happened. It didn't feel like the earthquakes I had experienced before.  Very strange.

Maybe because the epicentre was quite close to the surface.

4.1 centred in Doi Saket

Yes definitely felt it in downtown CM. Quite a jolt but didn't last that long.

We're building to code and according to hotel licensing laws. 30% green space, wide corridors, fire safety measure, correct roof slope, galaes, the lot.

Cost us millions.

Thanks for the support.

Oh the whole kaboodle ! Best of luck! Hope tourism improves next year because it certainly wasn't great this year.

Hope you remembered your hotel license for when the next crackdown happens.

Then there will be the new land/building tax starting next year. Apart from that should be OK if the tourists turn up. The other big one is if the pollution will be as bad this year.

Not being negative but things certainly more upbeat in the past.

Hats off to anyone brave enough to enter the hotel business at this stage of the game !! Definitely not easy and probably going to get harder.

Tax is more expensive if english only. To get the Thai signage price you can have both Thai and English but Thai must be ABOVE the English. I have seen many where Thai is quite small in comparison but always above. If you hang it I think you would need to pay tax, normally they check in the daytime !!

Some off topic posts have been removed. I think the OP was just implying 80k was quite high.

Maybe doable in one of the larger hotels but very unlikely in a small place. Also remember you would need a fair bit of experience to get a job like this. There are a number of people who have had many years in the business that would be eligible for the top jobs.

Meh.  It's actually easier to remember the most common venomous snakes you might encounter in your area, than trying to remember the plethora of non-venomous species. 

 

Like this one, for instance.  Horrible beast, looks like it's about to eat your dog in the garden, but really, you can let this one bite your arm with its tiny, virtually harmless teeth, then wash gently with soap after. 

 

This was the snake featured in the young Dicaprio film "The Beach", opening scenes in the BKK Bar drinking "cobra" blood. 

 

The radiated rat snake sure does put on a good show.  Hollywood. ????

 

 

 

 

We have one of those in our area (must be at least 3m) and there are smaller versions (offspring). The large version gave my cat chronic PTSD.

World Cannabis Festival, Super GT, a Tour de France cycling competition and concerts featuring famous bands such as Tomorrow Land and EDC.

World Cannabis Festival (which in all the news releases seems to be "Ganja Festival"), seems to be newly invented.  Not sure about Tour de France when France not involved but maybe they will sort it out. Who the heck are Tomorrow Land? But EDC is very appropriate as I believe it is the acronym for a type of credit card charging machine !!
